The Edinburgh MBA assists every student to progress confidently and swiftly to an executive management position. As well as covering all the key management disciplines, the course includes a personal development programme, based on what employers expect from MBA's.
The Edinburgh MBA is available as a 12-month full-time MBA programme, a 15-month MBA in International Business programme and a 36-month part-time MBA programme taught in the evenings that allows individuals in the area to undertake an MBA whilst also continuing in paid employment. The 12-month programme is also available as a modular MBA and can be taken over a period of up to 48 months. Students on the 12 month course undertake a consultancy project called "The Lothians Consultancy Project" with a corporation and then complete their dissertations.
